Can The Caps Come Back?
This has to be considered a must-win game for the Capitals. Going down 3-1 in the series is an awful spot to be in, and it’d be extra demoralizing given how close each game has been.
This game is probably closer than the online sportsbooks suggest, but the Bruins probably do have a slight advantage based on goalkeeping and momentum.
How to Watch
